Conditions We Treat

Specializing in general neurology (Harvard) and neuromuscular medicine (Brown).
Over twenty years experience treating a wide variety of neurological disorders.

Neuromuscular disorders & Neuropathy

Neuromuscular disorders affect the nerves that control your voluntary muscles. The weakness can lead to twitching, cramps, aches and pains, and joint and movement problems.

Movement disorders

Conditions which cause either too little (hypokinesia) or too much movement (hyperkinesia). In Parkinson Disease, one of the most common movement disorders, there is a combination of slowness (bradykinesia) and tremor.

Cognitive disorders

Cognitive disorders (CDs), also known as neurocognitive disorders (NCDs), are a category of mental health disorders that primarily affect cognitive abilities including learning, memory, perception, and problem solving.

Headache & Dizziness

Headache is pain in any region of the head. Headaches may occur on one or both sides of the head or be isolated to a certain location, radiating across the head from one point. A headache may appear as a sharp pain, a throbbing sensation or a dull ache.

Stroke & Vascular Disorders

A stroke occurs when a part of the blood supply to the brain is cut off and brain cells cannot receive oxygen or with bleeding in or around the brain.

Spinal cord disorders

With spinal cord dysfunction, muscles may be weak or paralyzed, sensation may be abnormal or lost, and controlling bladder and bowel function may be difficult.

Multiple sclorsis

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurologic disorder that affects the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord, and optic nerve). In MS, the body’s immune system attacks the nerves.

Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a condition causing recurrent unprovoked seizures. A seizure is typically a short episode causing symptoms or impairing functioning due to abnormal electrical discharges in the brain.

Sleep disorders

Sleep disorders are disorders which cause interruptions in sleep patterns. These conditions prevent people from getting enough sleep or cause excessive sleepiness during the daytime.

Gait & balance disorders

Gait and balance disorders are common in older adults and are a major cause of falls in this population. They are associated with increased morbidity and mortality, as well as reduced level of function.
